The deplorable Hoagland hoax must not in any way  be connected to any
scientific Swedish institution. The so-called Angstrom medal, mentioned
in the "press-kit", is nowadays totally disassociated with any scientific
prestige.

I checked today with colleagues at Uppsala University and received
the following reply:

"The Angstrom foundation is a private foundation without connections to
Uppsala or any other university. The department of Physics in Uppsala,
where two professors Angstrom have been active, has no links with the
activities of Richard Hoagland. The department considers the Hoagland
project as speculative and unscientific and rejects it entirely.

Anders Marelius
(Head of department of physics, Uppsala university)"

I will refrain (with difficulty) from further comments...
